Dangerous’ waste site is shut down
Mar 31 2010 by Abby Alford, South Wales Echo
A CARDIFF waste treatment facility has been shut down amid fears it poses a “significant environmental threat” to the city.
Seaport Environmental dumped its hazardous waste in the public tip at Lamby Way.
It has also accumulated such huge quantities of untreated industrial chemicals at its site at Cardiff Docks, Environment Agency officials have become concerned that any leak or rupture could pose a risk to the area.
The Environment Agency has been unable to confirm which substances are involved, but the Echo understands they include corrosive and toxic chemicals.
Can we trust Cardiff Clllrs to protect the citizens of Cardiff - waste disposal is key!
The tip needs to be closed NOW and an investigation set up as to what is has been dumped .. EVERY company should have been and should be monitored at Lamny Way for their waste dumping. A Public Enquiry is needed.
